Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 whole egg
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 1/4 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
1 pineapple (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Coarsely chop the butter. Place in a large mixing bowl with the sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat together until pale and fluffy.
  • Add the whole egg and the egg yolks and beat until thoroughly mixed. Beat in the rum.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture. Add the salt and mix thoroughly, using a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Grease a 10- to 11-inch baking pan with a removable bottom and sides about one-and-a-half to two inches high. Spread the batter over the bottom as evenly as possible. Set aside.
  • Peel the pineapple. Cut it in half and remove the core. Cut in half again horizontally and peel the skin, removing any ''eyes.'' Slice the pineapple in quarter-inch pieces.
  • Place pieces on top of the batter, leaving an inch around the rim. Bake 50-60 minutes, or till a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
